Elevate Women in Agroecology (EWA) exists to put women at the centre of sustainable food systems — as farmers, educators, entrepreneurs and stewards of the land. We believe agriculture done well is both a livelihood and an act of care for creation, and that women who grow food deserve the training, resources, and recognition to lead in it.
Our name reflects our tagline: "Farming God's Way." We work from urban sack gardens to school learning programmes, meeting communities where they are and growing alongside them.
To elevate women as leaders in agroecology — growing people, protecting nature, and building food systems that sustain families, communities and the environment for generations to come.
The people leading EWA's work on the ground.
Licensed agriculturalist, Natural Resources Manager, and educator leading EWA's mission to put women at the centre of sustainable food systems.
EWA works alongside women farmers in urban and peri-urban communities, school learners just beginning to understand where food comes from, and local markets and agripreneurs building livelihoods around sustainable growing. Our programmes — including GrowHer Urban Initiative and Little Agroecology Explorers — are how that mission reaches each of these groups.
